Travel trailer recommendations

[WVA3185]

We went with the Grand Design 16ML. Great floorplan for a small camper, awesome construction, massive heated tanks. Had mine weighed fully loaded at 4600 pounds. Well within the 6K tow specs. We've towed from North Carolina to Michigan and back with no issues.

I have a 2023 Gladiator Sport with the max tow. I am looking at this unit as well but the dealer has not received it yet. How is the construction? Do you like the kitchen sink? I am also looking at the Imagine XLS 17MKE which is 6395# GVWR. I see several pull these heavier trailers and don't seem to have any issues. I am curious if you would want to pull anything heavier than the 16ML? Thanks

We went with a T@B 320 from NuCamp. I've towed around 4,000 miles with this setup including 1,000 miles to Moab, wheeled for 4 days, then 1,000 miles back. Gladiator does great with it and while it is small, I think it is sized well for the Jeep. It is super light, and even with its small size and weight if the wind hits right you're reminded that the Jeep isn't a large truck.

I'm strongly considering the Imagine Aim 18BH. Hitch is 466lbs, UVW is 4064, and the GVWR 5495. Im confident the JTRD will tow it without issue.

The construction is very good for a travel trailer. We went with the 16ML for its size and weight originally, but we do really like the layout for a small traielr. Would I go bigger? Probably. There seems to be plenty of power, but the transmission doesn't seem to know what to do. I tend to shift the auto trans manually alot when towing to cut down on the engine racing. Construction of the trailer is great with the aluminum framing and azdel walls which were a plus for me. Fit and finish is above average. As for the kitchen sink, I hate it. It's way too small. I plan to replace it in the spring with something larger. I liked the 17MKE, but wasn't sold on the murphy bed, but that's a personal prefrence. If I were going bigger, and I'm sure I will at some point, I'd look heavily at the 22RBE which checks all the boxes for us. We're headed to Florida as we speak with the camper in tow. Good Luck!
